The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

We just completed 4 night stay for our 50th anniversary. We loved this place! We took the hotel’s private car to and from the airport. Driver and service great. Rooms are really nice, spacious and comfortable. We had a “king bed Ocean view Casita). Huge bathroom plus an outdoor shower. Housekeeping regularly checked to refresh the room a few times each day. We had a good view to the 3 tiered pools and to the ocean. (There are also pools in other locations.). When at the pools the staff regularly came by with buckets full of ice and bottled water, and periodically came with iced fruit drinks or fruit popsicles. We ate at every restaurant in the hotel and didn’t have any meal that wasn’t really with great service at each restaurant. Special shout out to Felipe Sandoval and the other bartenders at AltaMira (the bar with restaurant in the lobby). He was really a very helpful and engaging person, and made great recommendations for cocktails and food. He was delightful as were his comrades (we didn’t not get everyone’s names). Also special were the breakfast wait staff at Las Marietas, and bartender and staff at Carolina. Massages at spa were very good spa is pricey (we added a private room and pool with champagne and snacks so of course that added to the price). All staff were extremely courteous, if you need directions whomever you asked stopped what he/she was doing and took you wherever you were going. (i.e, instead of just trying to tell you how to go.). And at the restaurants and bars they always knew we were here for our anniversary and congratulated us. Nice touch. We certainly plan to return. This is a wonderful place.

The resort is absolutely amazing!! The service is top notch especially the Marietas Beach team- Ivan, Lucio, Palma, Jesus and Rigo! Also, the rooms are incredible and there is not a bad view anywhere in the resort. The beaches are clean and gorgeous.

I believe this resort has become my husband and myself's "Go-To" place for RnR, pampering and zen. This is our second time at this resort and better than our last visit in November 2022. I will also preface to say, that I am familiar with this area, having stayed at the Four Seasons (1X) and Hacienda de Mita (several times.)I should also mention that I used to frequent Hawaii every year, but the longer flights from western Canada vs. a shorter direct flight has helped to make this locale our new favourite. ARRIVAL: Wonderful front entry greeting with some very gracious staff. We were escorted to the new lobby (was still under construction when we were last there.) We were escorted to a lobby table overlooking the incredible view of the waterway, adult pool and ocean where our front end associate sat down with us to check us in while we were served the most delicious non-alcoholic cocktail. What a lovely refresher......I wish I had the recipe! After the formalities and the credit card being run through for approval, we were escorted to a golf cart with our luggage to begin our little journey to our casita. I will also preface, that I am a Platinum Elite Bonvoy member and thank you, we did receive an upgrade from garden view to ocean view room. CASITA: We were in room 4201, the same room as our last stay! I had requested it for this vacay as we found the location to the adult pool, the lobby, the spa, Mariettas for breakfast, to be a great location for us. Since we last visited, the room has been refreshed. I like it but with some reservations. Positives: new head board, sideboard for TV and bar, clean and new outdoor furniture, better outdoor shower floor tiling, and thank you for keeping the terra cotta tiles (LOVE..do not ever remove.) I also really appreciated the addition of a Nespresso machine in the room. We are early risers, and on our last stay, we had to wait forever to have the butler deliver the coffee. This was definitely a welcome addition. Negatives: the desk has been removed and replaced with chair and a chaise lounge, inside shower with marble floor is still so slippery when wet....again, an accident waiting to happen....just bypass and use the outdoor shower with better traction on floor. Our bellman delivered our luggage to our room and we were ready to unpack and start our vacation. I do have to mention that the steps that lead up and down to Casitas are very narrow without handrails and definitely caution is needed to navigate especially in the evening. I think ST. Regis should step up and install some handrails. (Check older review where a guest broke both of her ankles!) Caution is certainly advised! RESTAURANTS (ON AND OFF SITE): Mita Mary (onsite) OK! YAY! our first evening at our little piece of heaven! I had made a reservation at Mita Mary's. YAY! we loved this restaurant on our last visit and dined there for many dinners and many lunches. It was a little "real" but luxury authentic Mexican that w
